Zen fire connection

[thaifans]

I already have NT license for IB and i would like to test the Zen Fire connection. Did i need to re-enter the Demo Zen fire license code for Zen fire connection ? Also if i want to connect IB and Zen fire at the same time. i need to have multiple NT license right ?

Hello thaifans,

Yes, you will need to switch licenses, since your NinjaTrader live license is set to connect to IB, which excludes Zen-Fire.

In addition, you are correct as per the multiple broker license assumption.

thanks.. just one more question if i have IB and Zen fire connect at the same time can i treat Zen fire as a data sources and still route the excute order to IB. ?

Yes, you would connect to Zen-Fire first and IB second. More information can be found at the link below.

thiafans -- I'm considering doing what you're apparently doing (using NT instead of IB for charting and trade software, but placing trades via NT through IB). Just wondering why you're doing that and how is it working for you? My reason for considering this is that NT seems far superior to IB's TWS platform. Thanks in advance for any insights you can provide.
